God the Son was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary. No more dramatic and marvellous event had ever occurred upon earth than the appearance of the infant Who was fully God and fully human. And He had come to earth so that we can go to Heaven.

Our Lady of Sorrows: Truly, Our Blessed Lady suffered horribly as Jesus Christ her beloved son died in torment on the Cross. It is as if we pray with her at the foot of the Cross, each time we pray before the altar in church at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

From our sanctuary, at every Mass, Jesus Christ our Saviour offers the prayer He prayed for us during His Passion, as He died on Calvary: "Father, forgive them". And His Mother stands beside Him.

St. Joseph looked at his wife, Mary, with awe and wonder as well as love. His devotion to her was heart-felt and unflagging, as he counted himself privileged to be able to care for her and her Divine Son.

Christ the Son of Mary is God's own Son, Son before all ages, then born in time, made flesh for our sakes.

A person in mortal sin who refuses to abandon his evil ways is half way down the steps which lead to Hell. By his own choice, he is in a dangerous place. If he dies now, he will 'fall' into Hell; whereas if he repents before death he will be achieve safety on 'high', in a state of grace, with Jesus and Mary.

A person who dies, and who is ready for Heaven, moves to the heart of the Holy Trinity, to live in Eternal bliss and fulfilment. He has been saved by the merits of Jesus, the only Saviour, and the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

When we present our offerings to Our Blessed Lady, for her to perfect them before we approach the Lord, we are like a child who checks a gift with her mother, before she approaches a beloved father with a birthday present.

The generous response of the Blessed Virgin to God's invitation to become the Mother of God brought her much suffering - but also tremendous joy and glory. And so it is with us, when we respond to God's call, and allow Him to lead us through trials to bliss and intimacy.

Christ invites us to trust in His holy Mother Mary, and to ask for her prayers, especially under the title 'Mother of Perpetual Help'. Many graces are poured out upon the needy because of her intercessions.

Just as I have rested in Our Lady's arms at home, in prayer, so Jesus, as a child, nestled in her arms long ago. Imagine what He learned, from being close to someone so tender and true. Imagine how she grew in ever greater holiness, being so close to Him.

The Virgin Mary is a tender mother to all who love her son: we can turn to her and rest in her love at any time

Christ is deeply touched, and very pleased, when we take part in traditional devotions such as Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, with Benediction, or the 'Forty Hours', and various devotions which honour His holy Mother Mary. He does not want anyone to criticise such practices, nor to ban them.

The Angel said to Mary: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus." And Mary said: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord."

Can we imagine that the Blessed Virgin Mary did not know when her son had risen from the dead? She knew, at the moment of His rising, as she experienced in her own heart His bliss and glory. She cried out in joy - and later on was overwhelmed with joy when He visited her before anyone else.

Christ longs for all the People from whom He was born to realise that He is the One promised by the Prophets. Jesus, son of Mary, is the Messiah: the Holy One of God, Who longs for everyone to follow His way. There is no group or nation that can be ignored as we share the Good News of Christ by proclamation, with joy. Dialogue is not enough.

Our Blessed Lady's whole desire is to give glory to her Father, just as Jesus Christ her Son has always done. She invites us to do the same, though she is saddened to see how little respect is paid to Christ their Divine Saviour, Really Present in the Mass, and in the tabernacle.
